Asia

Pick one country — or one real cross-border corridor — and give it at least 7 nights. Four countries in two weeks is four airports, not a trip.

Not field-verified

Asia is a junction, not a catalogue. The trips that fail try to cover four countries in two weeks and change beds every night. Decide the country first; open a corridor only when the trip is genuinely cross-border and overland. Each country page below says what is published, what is planned, and where the traps are.

I think in regions

Corridors (Southeast Asia overland) open when their night sequences have data.

Thailand	Nov–Feb	Apr heat

Friction everywhere

Visa rules differ by passport and change; check the official source per trip.
Cash still matters in Japan's small places and much of Southeast Asia.
Summer heat (Jun–Sep) cuts walkable hours in most lowland cities; monsoon timing differs by latitude.
Late arrivals are the biggest single cause of a broken first night — every published city starts with an airport-to-bed contract.
